Tevez gave his own press conference through a translator, saying his head wasn't right so he decided he wouldn't play.
Djeko was also very unhappy about getting subbed and spat the dummy too. Bunch of PRIMA donnas
Predicted this would happen months ago.
We have seen how Real Madrid have tried the same and won stuff all, no matter how much the stars are being paid they all want match time. City has always been a loser club with a loser culture all the money in the world wont change that
Few things yes all the money in the world will change that - see blackburn 94/95 (7-8 years of heavy investment and they won the league) and also that same Real team won the league and the Champions league (wouldn't call that stuff all, certianly not as much as they wanted but the wont complain about them either)
Now Mancini did lost it in his interview (not as much as AVB did in his
) and he has every right to he is the manager, they may even be talk that he has told Tevez to find his own way back to manchester as he wont be going with the team. I think they should let Tevez sit in the reserves untill his contract runs out and let him rot or sell him at the highest value they can get, because if they sack him its what he is after. Dzeko probley wont show decent again and I think no other player for them will as Mancini has said this will be the last time any player does something like either one of them did. (I would expect there will be repocussions) Mancini also said in his interview "carlos wont play for city again".This will be a telling time for city, if the players react well to Mancini it will give him the power back in the dressing room and everyone will fall into to line, if they dont and it requires the owners to get involved things like this will happen again.
Btw before it comes up the story of the "lampard dummy spit" on the weekend is nothing but utter horse sh*t, they are trying to say because he left the bench early he dummy spat, when AVB told all the un-used subs to go change out of there playing kits and put on the practice ones as after the game the did some practice drills and lampard from all accounts look fined and not upset at all.
